AFAIK, gambling is allowed there but with some exception like only for limited games and places for which that made some articles say that gambling in Japan is illegal. They're allowing some private entities to manage gambling operations, just like what I've watched in a video[1] years ago and I think this is still applicable today.

[1] Day in the Life of a Japanese Casino Worker Pachinko

I also remember this project as it has ran a campaign that has a lot of participants and a lot from them have certainly made good money from this project. There's still a huge cap for this coin and it's still on many exchanges so it's like an underrated coin for now.
Just as how the market is right now, this coin has followed the trend and based on its chart. Last year, it has made a huge pump also just as what most of the coins did because of the bull run.

Actually, this is the sad truth. Even if how we manage to report all of it and make everyone aware of them, they will keep coming and unstoppable because it's easy for them to make a new one and another one if they get reported. I guess the best thing that we can do is to educate everyone on how to figure it out and how to avoid them.

Can you explain the ones that I've bold? You're thinking of keeping your private keys or seeds on your email? Or I have understood it wrongly.

With all of the other posts on this thread about the fake coinmarketcap websites, it's sad that out of the many, there will be a few that might fall for this tactic. I just hope that most newbies will be suspicious when they're asked to connect these wallets as they may misclick these phishing and fake links.

That's really it, they pay for these ads so they will appear at the first search of whatever metrics they set but usually for related crypto keywords and searches. It's been years of problem that this has been addressed to Google but they did nothing even in their playstore, a lot of fake apps are existing there waiting for their prey to come.

True, they're doing it at a right timing whenever the market seems to be up, a lot of it are existing. And it's likely with all of the same links that they have advertised, the same people might be behind on this. They seemed to be planned very well and anticipating that if one gets reported, they'll just have to reproduce it again.

Let's keep on reporting them and keep this thread posted, I'll merge all of these cmc phishing links on this thread or prolly with a new one.

Well, that won't be enough but at least you'll get some margin from that when bull run comes again.

Yeah, that was like the time that we're all expecting that price would certainly hit $100k back then. We're all invested on our emotion by that time because it's really achievable during that time and then, we all know what has happened because it's not met. The same bull run and it can be as huge as it was or bigger when the next halving comes.

Very much usual to see it drop because that's how the cycle of bitcoin's work. We may see it go at the top again but after that another drop will surely come. I wasn't surprised when it has come but it's disappointing because I thought that it will be longer but no. Whether there will be another rise for a year or two, we can have that positivity remain after the next halving.

We're all looking forward on that day that bitcoin will surpass that ATH and will go into an entry of another ATH and much higher than the pass. And it's like that the last ATH will be likely as the support just like these times. We've been $20k as the ATH of 2017 and today, it's just the support.

If the price is lesser but it's still in profit because you've bought it lower. That's still a plus and profit but the profit was lesser than the ATH. I think, you can have the typical mindset of making from there and you have to think positively that you need to accept and be satisfied with the sale you've made. Because not everyone sells in profit, and many are selling at losses when their expectation wasn't met.

Depends on how soon is what you believe. But we're all agreeing that someday bitcoin will eventually hit $100k and that could be the most surprising moment and as many have learned the lesson, many will start selling at that point.

I don't think that there will ever be a project that will surpass Ethereum as of the moment. The fact that it's grown a lot and with this transition, it's making the rich folks be richer and that's what they like from it. So, huge capitalization will remain on it as it gives these huge part of its network the advantage to take on the lead as they help Ethereum also remain on its state. Being a PoS now really has changed it into a less censored project and let's see where it'll be in the next years.

What are your bases and standard for having that list of yours? We've got our own casinos that we support and would declare that it's on our top lists.
It's better if you make this as a poll and let's see how many active participants would love to vote for the casino that they're supporting. Although, that's not really enough to say that it's the best if it's just the voting preference.

It seems that you will have hard time paying most of it with the based money that you've got. If it's possible to follow what davis has said, that's most likely the option that you should do. Because if you're going to pay for the one with the highest interest, how much you shall have for the rest of the credit cards bill that you have? Some I've read is about paying with the little balance that you have to clear them out first so that it will only leave the one that has the highest balance that you have so in the end of clearing all of them, you'll have the highest balance to be the last one to pay.

Yes, they're doing the same scam and could be the same people behind these phishing links. Let's just report them so that Google will remove them with our help.

I'll use that but for the meantime, I think that I'll stay on the typical usage without them so that I can report those phishing links that would appear as I search. And for bookmarking, it's a lowkey advise but definitely works.

That's right, there's no other thing that we can do but to unite and voluntarily report all of those suspicious and obvious websites that would appear on google's ad appearance on its top search.

It's always like this, Google should have been more aware with all of these phishing links as they accept them to advertise with them and then eventually, they're being reported. They should increase their way of filtering these scam ads and the standards before accepting such.

We can just hope for the best that Google would be thoughtful of the newbies in the crypto and they'll eliminate these type of ads. That's what they can do to give back to community by protecting everyone by not allowing to pass these scam sites to advertise on them.

There might be some targeting based on these ads and you're not part of it, but some folks really are seeing these ads for real.

I didn't know that they've got such feature before but it's better be gone because scammers/hackers will take advantage of this feature.

Damn, too many of them and it seems unstoppable. We really have just to volunteer on our own if we see such appear everytime we search with those few clicks and report it, there's also the other way of reporting it on OP.

If he's also careless and there's some ads appeared at the top search, basically, these phishing links are the ones that shall appear. If someone is not keen on really checking the spelling of the URL and has got his Metamask and the other mentioned wallet ready, he'll voluntarily going to fall for this scam.

I have reported all of those links that have been on this thread and hopefully the others would also do the same thing. These scammers a.k.a hackers too knows how to really use and maximize the use of Google.

The hackers don't target us because we are aware of what these websites for, they are targeting those that lack of knowledge about these things in crypto.

Yeah, it's why it's highly recommended that if you visit a website at most times, you just save and bookmark it and avoid searching it on google using keywords. It is no problem for us but the main concern are the newbies.

That's the sad thing. Technically, this can be avoided when one has got to learn about those adblockers or is a checker of URLs and attentive to detail for spellings and also active in the community knowing how these attackers come but, they're not targeting us. As for the browser wallets like Metamask, I think most users would agree about can be used conveniently but they ignore that fact that phishers are targeting them because of how many they are.

Since you've mentioned about keeping some information on your email address. I hope that you don't keep such passwords and login details there. I've read that there were people that also have kept their private keys and seeds there and I'm just hoping that you don't do that.

I usually use Brave but it's just so happen that during that time, I've chosen to go with Microsoft Edge and it appeared there as I type google.com first. I agree and as suggested also by Lucius, having an adblocker is one of the best ways to not meet these phishing ads.

Yes and as well as avoid clicking those ads that's making it look like a suggested website if someone is into keyword searching.

I remember there's someone from the forum, I can't remember that guy exactly that has became a victim of the same attack and then he admitted that he's tired at that time and haven't checked the letters correctly. These scammers uses that unfortunate moment and sort of psychological factor to trick their victims.

True and literally newbies that aren't aware that there's no need to connect wallets just for accessing CMC.

Just a random shitcoin that I've seen on some topics. Actually, I've used different browsers for it and it has appeared for a couple of minutes and that screenshot I've made was the first time I've seen it. And then, I've made a few refresh continuously like around 3-5 times and then it's gone.

I've reported them already, I'll include the link of reporting it on the original post.

Yes, this is not new. Google keeps on just accepting these paid ads to appear to their users and they don't really clear and filter it. And that's why we have to be vigilant and take action on it and keep on repeating to inform others about this trick that these scammers/hackers do.

It's very likely that there's only one person or group of people behind these links.

Those that will comply with the use of others identity instead of making things easier, they are just complicating things and making things harder.
And before depositing, better to ask it first or do some research and clarify on how much is the maximum amount for deposit and withdrawal without being required to kyc.

I was just browsing some random stuff on Google and then this appeared on my search. See image below.



It's shown at the top search and I'm sure that many of us know that Google don't really filter these phishing and scam websites. After I've seen the ad, I'm aware of it that it is sketchy and tried to visit it. And this is what it has shown me, the website is asking for these two wallets to connect to them. I'm safe since I don't have those wallets installed on my browser.



So there it goes, not so unknown conclusion that many have been hacked through this. The forceful asking for the users to connect to their Metamask, Wallet Connect and other wallets before accessing into these fake websites and services lead the victims into stealing their funds.

And that's why for newbies and even those folks that have been long in the community, be careful. This isn't just the one and there are other websites that they are copying. For example, the popular crypto websites like exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) and other wallet services aside from Coinmarketcap.

Let's report these suspicious and harmful phishing links, not just this one but the others too through the link below:

---

The links below are the phishing links that has been also caught by other forum members, if you've got spare time, let's report all of them. These are the few from the many out there.

It's a different thing if we're going to let them have full control to our assets. Well, for some countries they're doing that but if we're living in a free country and there's democracy, they cannot do that unless they find your assets came from illegal activities. What they're likely to do is to freeze those assets. But, since we're from crypto and our source is from our own investments and money as we buy bitcoin, there's no way that they'll do that. I almost forgot that, corrupt people also uses bitcoin and if the regulators have found it out that they misuse funds from legitimate sources, they will seize it from the owners if they have leads of them.

Yes.
I haven't.
It's either they're telling the truth that there's sort of bug but it's sketchy if they've said that they've wiped off their database. That sounds odd and crazy if it just happened recently when the guy tries to claim his winnings.
There's no way that we can avoid that.

By just staying in the forum and checking out posts and threads on Trading and Speculation, there are valuable threads there that would be helpful for someone to understand what the trend is and how they trade.

It's not for those that are rushing if someone wants to understand how bulls and bears happen and as well as the strategies and what to do on these times on the market.

That's why they're the government, they're following the centralized way of managing the country so things must go accordingly to what they're implementing. And as for our assets, it's on you on how you should keep them. They're still giving us some freedom to manage these things as we still get to own them but they've got a portion of it through taxes. We hold and manage our own assets but they're telling us that let's not forget them that they have a part of everything we profit with, whether it's from btc or not.

I think if it's pertaining of getting the information of other players in a land based casino, this is through like the casual talks but not being provided by the casino itself.
Censorship is important to their customers so they have to protect them especially those big winners. They wouldn't just hand out easy information to those that are asking for it specifically targeting big winners and they won't display that randomly as well.

I haven't used this feature of theirs so, let's wait for someone to confirm it if it doesn't show the senders address. But usually, with internal transfers, since the transaction is happening off chain and Binance pay doesn't requires its users for fees since it's free. I don't think that it will make your address appear from someone since the transaction is internal. Because it will just use an internal transaction number that won't require its appearance on the actual network of the coin that you'll send to the receiver.

Privacy coins I guess are the best choice.

That's correct, and when that comes, those that have never taken the advantage of taking their profits on the last run will learn their lesson. And when there's some shoot up to the price, many will start doing their thing and I do agree that the next ATH could be the bare minimum of the future's price.

It's so quick that it's been a year already and we're now missing to stay at the ATH but we'll be back there soon. And about bitcoin's nature of volatility, this is what I like it the most when we're unsure what's going to be ATH of it but we're assure that we're at the right placing of it when it happens.

I can say that there are also unrecognized winners and those are the folks that have bought when it's on all time low of $3k and then managed to keep it up to the ATH and sold it. While some of them might have bought at the $3k range and then haven't sold but they're still up in profits til' this date.

Yeah, but we can look at it as the brighter side because despite of these things and issues, bitcoin remained steadfast and firm and became one of the best performing assets and will retain that place as everything recovers.

Yeah, as of now, it's actually good to be entertained with it. If you've got a lot of time to be spent there and you may just want to be part of it, you're sure good to be in there. There are companies that do offer some hardware so that you can actually to be in there but it's also like a game or an actual game that's certainly addictive. So, when you've got plenty of it, you'll surely be addicted on it especially when the project you've joined on its Metaverse is allowing you to earn its currency/cryptocurrency which can be exchanged into a real thing.

Well, it portrays differently depending on someone that sees the good and bad of it. If one is against on it, we can't change what he thinks about it. But the Metaverse is for sure going to stay there no matter how he/she dislikes it. There have been companies that have invested a lot of money there and we can't also deny that it's going to keep going unless the progress stops but that's most likely not going to happen. Those companies that have invested already can't stop from there and they have one thing in common, and that is to continue what they have started.
